Riding a tricyle taxi in New York Manhattan during Thursday afternoon rush hour…  Just came back from a ten days USA trip where I visited five different cities.  Love that Hertz “Neverlost”.

My company kicked off in JAN 2008 Corporate Service Corps (like Peace Corps).  This program will have employees from different nations and business units build relationships and work on some of the world’s toughest problems, such as global economic opportunity, environmental challenges, and access to education resources.

Sorry we been away…  we thought about using a different blogging services because it allowed auto NOKIA uploads to the web blog, supposedly using simple SMS plus attached photo media files.  Well, as it turned out, our new blog(s) service is BLOCKED from public view in China.  So, we are back…  Human is very apologetic.

My flight back to Beijing was supposed to take off at 3:20 pm.  At 3:05 pm, I  found out it is delayed to uncertain time because, “too many airplanes want to go to Beijing so now some flights are grounded to control inbounds in to Beijing”.

In fact, I am thinking where are all the IT logisitics people who should be jumping all over this to help this ever growing (exponentially) problem.  I am also dying to get home.  I been traveling all over the last month (like most people with my job roles), including Europe, Hong Kong, and quite a few spots in China. 

Even my luggage is missing home.

I am traveling in Germany this week and strangely enough, compare to life/work in China, this business trip feels like “half” a vacation.  Of course, compared to the German collegues, I am still a workaholic.  So, everything is relative.

Anyhow, many of you are asking about Wuyi, I will try to post some Wuyi contents but she is so new to my life and I am never home long enough I still need to get to know Wuyi “better” to know what she wants to talk about on this blog.

I will be home this Sunday and hopefully for three straight nights this time.  Maybe I will try to catch Wuyi for some nice photo shoots to share.

Pretty neat summer special prices for an airline trying to break into the Chinese market…  now need to check their safety records but should be okay?  A quick internet search on this airlines shows some people absolutely LOVED their flight experience with Srilankan Air but others simply HATED it.  So buyer beware.

• Beijing - Colombo roundtrip fare – CNY 4790

So after much RMB spent (including having to buy a new hard drive)…  and “cryptic” answers from the Data Recovery Center, the videos from Crazy Robert’s computer are mostly recovered…  except for the first 7 and last 9 based on time stamp. 

This means we do not have the take offs from the first day in Zillertal when Human first got the use of Crazy Robert’s camera and we are also missing the last ones on Feltre including interviews with the Italian team.  I do; however, have these files but in some sort of AVI format after recovery…  so will figure them out later.

It will take me tons of time to complete all the upload to the internet (my paws are too big to type fast).  So do visit my newly set up YouTube page from time to time in the next few week(s).  As you probably guessed, my YouTube user name is “XiaobudianWorld”. 

I will not link the YouTube videos to this blog as there just too many videos… and will slow down the speed of my blog, but the ones I have posted so far are getting Great Ratings even from people not from our trip!!!

We got some photos from Wojtek today.  Yipee!  Hopefully more to come from other team mates.  Check out crazy Human in this photo.  Hopefully Human’s mom will not find this photo because last time she got caught parachuting in Chicago, her mom did not stop yelling at her for one week!  Hmm…  maybe we will send it to mom anyhow.
